Nancy,

Installshield is just an old version of the Windows Installer... Its what
the developers chose to use as an installer at that particular time

Are you talking about disabling the uninstall applet?

If so, do this:

Click START
Click RUN
Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & click OK
Navigate to:

User key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninsta
ll

All Users:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninst
all

(If the UNINSTALL key above don't exist, right-click POLICIES, new KEY &
type in 'uninstall' (without quotes) for the key name)

Creare a new DWORD in the right pane:

'NoAddRemovePrograms' (without quotes)

Double-click that entry & set it to '1' (one (without quotes))

Click OK

Exit the registry editor & restart

I hope this helps,

No, it is not. Installshield and Windows Installer are two different
applications by two different companies.

Installshield is from InstallShield Software Corporation that Macrovision
purchased in 2004.

Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) is from Microsoft.
